This is by far my favorite case by Speck and my favorite iPhone case. (Prior to getting this one I had bought 10 cases for my iPhone from various companies) Candy Shell FTW :)
Sue

This case is so awesome! I can't stop raving about it. Only complaint, can you make more girly colors? Seriously a purple, light blue, or PINK would be awesome. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I have the white and cranberry one and it's just the best case I have tried, and trust me I have tried A LOT!!

Danielle

I agree with Sue, you need more girly colors. I don't have this case but I really want it. My only deterant in getting this case is the colors, If there was an all white with pink, like a bubblegum to go with the 'candy' colors, I would definently buy it.

jp

I love this case the contrasting colors look really cool on the phone. It does a great job keeping the phone from getting damaged. My only complaint is that the rubber portions get dirty pretty quickly and I would love a purple one...its my fav color!

Paul

PLEASE make this case with a black exterior and red interior. I said please didn't I?

Bennett H.

As s YouTube iPhone 3G case reviewer, it's not everyday that I can find a case that works as well as the CandyShell does. I love the colors which really do put you out there. A lot of people have an iPhone, but can't stand out. I can, I have a CandyShell. The hybrid function of the soft inside and hard outside is not something you find every day either. The protection is great, it's easy to get on and off, AND it slips in and out of your pocket flawlessly. Out of the some odd 30 or 40 cases I have used. This is most certainly one of the best purchases you can make for an iPhone 3G.

John

Hey what is the best color for the Candy Shell??? I think its the cranberry white truffle.

Cecil

This has got to be the best case I have ever used. The design is second to none. However, I don't like any of the colors. I bought the white/red one, but do you know how good it would look if it was white with white rubber, or white with black rubber, or black with black rubber, black with white rubber? If it was also made in these "normal" colors, this case would be perfect, and appeal to a much larger age range. (maybe call them executive edition colors) If I could get a white on white to go on my white 3GS, I would, and I took a chance on the white/red I have and am still getting used to it.

axel

this is a great case. i love that it is hard to get out so that i know that it won't come out. i told all my friends to get it.

Jackie

I just purchased my first iPhone and received a Candy Shell in Key Lime to protect it. I was a bit skeptical of the rubber buttons at first, but after I had the shell on, the concern was gone. This shell felt nice, the buttons worked and it looked great. I cannot tell you now many complements I have received with this cover and how clear the protective screen is. It makes me love my phone even more. Thank you speck!

tawnic

Yes, more girly colors would be welcomed....PINK!!! Pink and gray, pink and black, pink and white....something along those lines. :)

JeffP

The CandyShell is my 4th and final iphone case. It really is as great as everyone else says it is. Added bonus, my Sony and Sennheiser headphone plugs fit perfectly!

Jeff

Jennifer

Love this case! Slides nicely into back pocket and purse but not slippery in hand. Has just enough bulk to fit in my hand nicely (I think the iphone by itself is too small!) Doesn't detract from iphone usage in any way. And I've even dropped it twice and while there was the expected asphalt marks on the corner of the cover, my iphone was completely safe!!! More colors are a must!

Lana

Nice idea combining the silicone with a hard shell. The colours are a bit average though, dark coloured rubber so it doesn't show dirt might be an idea.

GreggieBoy

What can I say - saw a co-worker with the Cranberry White Truffle and thought it looked great, then saw it was Speck. I have used a clear Speck case for my previous blackberry and LOVED IT. Now I'm using the Watermelon Gumball and i LOVE IT. I could see how the ladies might not take to the current crop of colors, but I'm sure the style gurus at Speck are cooking up rev #2.

Ken Zebracki

I've owned a ton of iPhone cases..... This is the best by far!!! I absolutely love it! Plan on ordering several more!

Sued

OMG you guys listened!!!!!! I am buying the purple first, then the pink, and then the blue...maybe the white too...I am in "candy heaven"!!!! I can't wait to spread the word :)

Stacey

YAY, a Pink CandyShell Case, it's like a dream come true! Speck, you are awesome!!

Jodie

Thanks so much for the new CandyShell colors! I bought a white/cranberry CS for the protection and ingenious design, but really wanted something a little more girly. The Bubblemaker Pink is PERFECT! I won't hesitate to recommend it to all of my friends.

Pyxie

Love this case. Three iphones in the family, all with a different color Candyshell. Great design, minimal bulk and good protection. Plus anything that comes in Pink gets an A+

David

Got my 1st iphone about a month ago & have driven myself a little nuts trying to find/pin
down the 'perfect' case for it.

My criteria were narrowed down to 3 things -

#1.Case had to be esthetically pleasing,

#2. had to offer good, solid protection, and

# 3. Good reviews from other users.

Well, after much deliberation & endless hours (and nights) searching reviews online,
(and purchasing a cheap silicone case at WalMart in the meantime - not recommended for long term use!)
I chose the Speck CandyShell .
The CandyShell arrived today
& I have to say I am very pleased/impressed, even though it's only been a few hours.

The case is Firm, solid & smooth(not flimsy at all) but not overly ‘rigid’
, like some non-silicone cases I’ve seen.

The inside is soft and smooth so phone wont be scratched, and most importantly(to
me)the case offers a firm, snug, fit - It isnt going to ‘slip off’.

While I’m not going to drop
my phone to ‘test’ whether or not it would survive a fall, I’m pretty sure the CandyShell
would offer reasonably good protection if that were to happen. A few things I’d like to
point out that I’ve seen in some reviews of the Candyshell - 1.the ‘button’ issue: some
users/reviews have mentioned that the button covers over the volume/power buttons
make these buttoms unresponsive-not true. Havent noticed this at all.

2.The case is
easily scratched/smudged: while I did get the black case & have noticed that already,
yes, it shows smudges/fingerprints easily, big deal. As far as scratches, too soon to
comment on this, but I’d rather get scratches on the case than my phone itself(Why
most of us get a case in the 1st place!)

3. Case is hard/difficult to remove/take on & off:
I’m not someone who changes their case on a regular/daily basis - I want a case that is
good, solid, dependable & sturdy that is going to protect my phone, one that I can slip
on & forget about, just assuming it will do its job. This case seems to be it. Period.

Speck has done a good job with this one & I’d like to thank them for it!

Richard

Excellent case! I wish they still had the black/yellow or white/red combination! Got the black/gray one, and the only complaint is that the black glossy finish shows fingerprints and scratches which some OCD people (like myself) may get bothered by. Screen protector is nice and clear too by the way. Thanks!

Sidster

Excellent case.
Need more colors.
Boy do they need more colors.

Elissa

Yes!!! You guys made new colors! The last ones were a little weird besides the raspberry truffle (which I bought.) I'm stopping by my local Apple store to get the pink or blue tomorrow. Thanks!!! :D

cmk

This is a really terrific case. It fits the iphone 3gs perfectly,is great to hold onto and slips into everything easily. Very comfortable and attractive to use.
Just wish you had some more colors! The purple is wonderful, but i really liked the lemon drop black licorice and you dont make it for the 3gs! the lime and black was great too!
Have recommended it to several people, keep up the good job, but please add some new colors! thank you!

A. Duke

I LOVE my black and gray Candyshell! I ordered it ahead of time so I would have it in hand when I purchased my 3GS. It fits perfectly and has an even better hand feel than the phone by itself. I've had the case and the phone for a week now and the rubber lip around the screen surface has already saved me more than once! I'll never have another cover, unless of course I need a Candyshell in another color...

David

Hah! You printed my review! Way cool! Has been 2 weeks now since I got the CandyShell for my iphone & Am still very happy that I chose IT over all of the other cases on the market. (The ONLY recommendation/request I have is that you introduce a wider array of colors...) You guys ROCK! And, again, THANK YOU for producing such a quality product!

KC

I bought an iPhone 3GS this past weekend and picked up the Batwing Black case. It is perfect. Great protection, access to ports & buttons, decent weight, and feels good in my big hands.

MrCyberdude

I have tried 10+ cases and this is the best slim-line toughish case i have found.
.
It could be improved if there was a lanyard/laniard hole in it.
When this happens I'll buy one for each of my close friends. Actually i may be drilling two shortly as the casing can take it.

Jake H.

This Product is one of the best cases that i have owned for my iphone and i feel that it will protect my phone from anything and that this cases is just all all around good case so if anyone want to get his cases then i would!! one down side to it is that the black case will get little marks on the back only problem! 5/5 THANKS!!
